Cardiac Markers: What Heart Tests Reveal About You

Heart disease claims more lives in India than any other condition. Yet many cardiac events could be prevented with regular screening and early detection.

Key Cardiac Markers

• CRP (hs-CRP): Measures inflammation linked to heart disease
• Homocysteine: Elevated levels increase cardiovascular risk

Essential Heart Tests
